Default APS 2.5" catback?

So I'm looking for the best exhaust to get for my Z. I am stuck between the follwing two setups and would like to know which would be the best to run. Im also going to be staying N/a. Im stuck on either APS's 2.5" dual catback with test pipes, or top speed pro 1 with y pipe and test pipes. Which would be the better perfomring setup out of the two? And which would be the better sounding?

im iffy on top speed, and i havnt used it. Topspeed is a pretty cheap brand. If you have the cash for APS you can buy a nicer exhaust. What kind of sound are you looking for?

APS w/ HFC will sound lik ethat. Or resonated TP. APS definatley sounded like a porsche...it was deep and bassy and boomy, and sounded like a race car after 4500 rpm. I'd suggest APS w/ HFC

How loud is the APS? Ive heard top speed in person and its really loud, APS anywhere near as loud? Im kinda lookin for a somewhat loud exhaust, think Id be happy with the loudness of non res test pipes and APS exhuast?

Considering design, I don't like either with one big muffler in the rear. I prefer dual exhaust with two mufflers.

No comment about sound but come to the next ECZA Meet and listen the various exhausts before buying.

With stock cats, APS is very quiet. It really wakes up with test pipes though. Top speed IMO is obnoxiously loud.. APS keeps it quiet at lower RPMs, has low in cabin drone and can get loud w/ test pipes. Its very deep and not as ricey as top speed. You can also look at a few other exhausts.. PM me and i'll tell you about some more... i did a lot of research so i know
